INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS REGARDING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

We are commited to keeping our most vulnerable patients and staff as safe as possible, therefore we have suspended all routine face-to-face GP appointment bookings. Patients who had an appointment booked will be telephoned by a GP at the time of the original appointment. If you have not spoken to a doctor please do not attend the surgery.

In line with the latest advice, if you have a high temperature or new, continuous cough you should self-isolate for a period of 7 days. There is no need to contact either the surgery or NHS111.

Foundation Year (FY2) Doctors in Training

The practice is accredited as a Training Practice for Foundation Year Doctors.

Foundation Year doctors are fully qualified doctors who are with the practice for four months. FY doctors are supervised by other GPs in the practice. You may be offered an appointment with them, but you are not obliged to see them if you choose not to. You may find that the FY doctor sometimes sits in with other doctors or nurses during their consultations.

Occasionally, consultations may be video recorded for educational purposes. This will only take place if you consent to it.

Teaching Medical Students

Student doctors visit the practice at intervals. You will be told if a student is present and are welcome to tell the receptionist if you would prefer to see the doctor alone.

You may be asked for permission to video a consultation for teaching purposes.
